simple, quick and a visual and tasteful hit

This recipe is a real highlight for steak lovers. All the herbs and spices are placed in a mortar and pestle, briefly crushed, and then mixed with olive oil. The steak rump is then rubbed with the spices and left to stand in cling film for at least half a day to allow the flavors to absorb. Afterward, the steak rump can be cut into individual steaks and grilled or fried. Because the herbs are only on the outer edges, they don’t burn as quickly and aren’t overpowering. If you like, you can also add chopped garlic to the marinade.
